About the Cayman Kitefest at Kaibo Beach

Cayman Kitefest at Kaibo Beach is one of the many ways the islands celebrate their unique culture. This custom goes back many years as a way to welcome summer into the Caribbean. During the summer, wind is more suitable for kite-flying. As homage to this tradition, locals and visitors gather on Kaibo Beach to fly their kites for both fun and a chance to win prizes.

All proceeds from sales of kites and raffle tickets will be used to support ARK’s “Mentor-Educate-Reinforce” program, which is helping struggling children to succeed in school and in their lives.
